Dive into a gorgeous new gaslamp Victorian romantasy by USA Today Bestselling author Charlie Lane.

She digs graves. He robs them. But can he steal her heart?

Widowed alchemist Persephone Graves seeks forgiveness. She clings to the edges of poverty, digging graves to keep off the streets. And to atone. Her husband's death was her fault, and she'll somehow make it right one shovelful of soil at a time.

No matter how powerful his glamours, the Duke of Morington needs money. And he knows just where to get it. The tombs in the alchemist cemetery hold treasures–the final inventions of dead alchemists. Selling one or two to the highest-bidding investor will revive his family's depleted coffers.

When a dirt-covered, trousers-clad Persephone tries to stop him from pillaging the graves, he ignores her sharp wit and the curves hiding beneath her man's shirt. Until he needs her. Only Persephone can open the alchemist tombs. And perhaps only she can change a thief's coal-black heart to gold.

From London to Manchester, two unlikely partners in crime fight, kiss, laugh, and, if they can dig each other out of loneliness, fall in love.
